Elijah Lovejoy
1802-1837
Brave defender of freedom of the press. Lovejoy used
his press in Illinois to work to abolish slavery. Although
he lost three presses to mobs who opposed his views,
Lovejoy continued “to speak, to write and to publish
whatever [he pleased] on any subject.” He was killed by
an angry mob as he tried to stop them from setting fire to
a warehouse where he was storing his newly delivered
fourth press.
Margaret Fuller
1810-1850
First American female foreign and war correspondent.
Described in her time as “the most remarkable and . . .
greatest woman” in America, Fuller opened many doors
for women journalists. When she joined the New York
Tribune as literary critic, she was the first woman on the
paper’s staff. Only two years later she fulfilled a lifelong
dream of traveling to Europe as a writer. While there she
commented on social change, interviewed political and
artistic leaders, and covered current events. Not all of
what she witnessed survived. Both Fuller and her papers
were lost at sea in a shipwreck on her return home.

Mathew Brady
c. 1823-1896
Pioneering photographer. After learning the
daguerreotype process from artist-inventor Samuel F. B.
Morse, Brady built a successful portrait business with
galleries in New York and Washington where the public
could view photographs of famous people of the day.
When the Civil War broke out, Brady got official
approval to document the war. To do the job, he hired
ten other photographers, set up field units in several
states, and used large-format cameras and traveling
darkrooms pulled by horse teams. Brady and his
assistants took some 3,500 photographs of the war.
Brady himself captured Abraham Lincoln and the battles
of Antietam and Fredericksburg on camera.
Samuel L. Clemens
1835-1910
Celebrated humorist better known as Mark Twain. Well
known as a writer of novels, shorts stories, and sketches,
Clemens also worked a good part of his life as a
journalist. He learned the printer’s trade at a young age,
and after a brief stint as a Mississippi steamboat pilot
and service in the Confederate army, he headed west and
became a reporter for papers in Nevada and California.
Clemens’s accounts of adventures in the Sandwich
Islands and the Holy Land as a travel correspondent
were also published in newspapers as a series of travel
letters. Clemens was surprised to discover on his return
that the letters had made him famous from coast to coast.
Jacob Riis
1849-1914
Reformer and famous documentary photographer. Riis
was a Danish immigrant to the United States with a
knack for reporting. The New York slums became his
beat. Riis wrote about what he saw on the streets, and his
stories opened people’s eyes to the deplorable living
conditions for many in the city. Riis’s writing and
photographs were true good works that helped change
the city for the better.
Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman)
1867-1922
World-traveling reporter. Bly got her first newspaper job
in Pittsburgh after writing an angry letter in response to
an article titled “What Girls Are Good For.” She later
gave up her Pittsburgh columns on society, theater, and
art for more daring reporting for the New York World.
On one assignment she posed as a patient to investigate
conditions in an insane asylum. On another, she traveled
around the world in 72 days to beat a record of 80 days
for the trip. Readers were able to trace her trip in a board
game issued by the World.
H. L. Mencken
1880-1956
Influential contributor to American thought and
literature. Although his father wanted him to run the
family cigar factory, Mencken’s real ambition was to be
journalist. After his father’s death he became the
youngest reporter at a Baltimore paper and later pursued
a lifelong career at the Baltimore Sun. His editorial
column “The Free Lance” became one of the Sun’s most
widely read features. A sharp critic, Mencken was at his
best, in his own words, when his articles were “written
in heat and printed at once.”
Grantland Rice
1880-1954
One of America’s best-known and respected sports
writers. Rice saw sports as life. His column “Sportslight”
appeared in more than 100 newspapers. He estimated
that he wrote 1 million words a year—3,000 words a day
—and traveled 15,000 miles a year to bring stories to his
readers.
Walter Winchell
1897-1972
Newspaper gossip columnist. A singer himself, Winchell
got his start in journalism writing up gossip about stars
on backstage bulletin boards. Not long afterwards he
was hired as a New York drama critic and columnist.
Winchell’s special style, which featured words he
coined, such as ‘cupiding’ for romance, won readers far
beyond New York. At the peak of his career, Winchell
was almost as great a celebrity as the celebrities he
covered, and 800 papers carried his daily column.
Ernie Pyle
1900-1945
Perhaps the best-loved reporter of all time. Pyle covered
the human side of the news in a folksy, chatty style.
With his wife, Jerry, he traveled the United States and
the world in search of stories about ordinary heroes.
During World War II, Pyle mixed with soldiers in
Europe and the Pacific and followed them into battle.
His columns home gave readers a glimpse of war from
what he called “the worm’s-eye view.”
Margaret Bourke-White
1904-1971
One of the world’s first and most famous
photojournalists. Bourke-White used photography to
document the Great Depression and World War II,
creating the photo essay, in which one picture or a series
of pictures are used to tell a story. During the Second
World War she was the only woman photographer
permitted in war zones by the U.S. Army. Capturing
significant moments in the war on film, Bourke-White
also snapped memorable portraits of world leaders, such
as Churchill, Stalin, and Gandhi.
Alice Dunnigan
1906-1983
Champion of efforts to end segregation. During years of
teaching and other work, Dunnigan kept alive her
childhood dream to be a newspaper reporter by writing
part-time for African American papers. When she finally
became a full-time newspaper correspondent, she threw
herself into her work. Her mission was to keep people
informed about the efforts to end the separation of the
races in America. Though suffering discrimination
herself, Dunnigan took pride in witnessing history and,
more than that, in building the pride of African
Americans during a critical period.
Ethel Payne
1911-1991
Fearless civil rights reporter. Hired by the Chicago
Defender as a features writer, Payne was drawn instead
to hard news. She became the one-person Washington
bureau of the Defender during the early years of the civil
rights movement. Payne tracked civil rights
developments tirelessly and skeptically. She was known
to ask difficult questions even at presidential press
conferences. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the
Voting Rights Act of 1965 were signed by President
Johnson, Payne was among the civil rights leaders
present. Her reporting had helped bring about change, as
she hoped it would.
Robert Capa
1913-1954
World-famous combat photojournalist. Firm in his belief
that “if  your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t
close enough,” Capa put himself in the middle of the
action. His photographs of soldiers in the trenches
during the Spanish civil war made him famous around
the world. Later assignments involved landing in France
with the first wave of D-Day forces and jumping with
paratroopers into Germany during World War II. Capa
lost his life in the field, killed by a mine while on
assignment in Vietnam.
Katharine Graham
1917-
Role model for women journalists. Taking over the
Washington Post after the death of her husband, its
publisher, Graham followed in the footsteps of her
father, who had bought and built the paper. Graham had
no choice but to learn the newspaper publishing
business. In the process she rebuilt the paper. Graham
hired Ben Bradlee, doubled the Post’s news staff, and
gave editors and reporters freedom to work
independently. Under her leadership, the Post printed the
Pentagon Papers, broke the Watergate story, and became
the nation’s leading political paper.
Ben Bradlee
1921-
Executive editor of the Washington Post. Bradlee was
actively involved in the development of two of the
Post’s biggest stories—the Pentagon Papers and
Watergate. Supported by a Supreme Court decision that
upheld First Amendment guarantees of freedom of the
press, he oversaw the Post’s publication of the series of
articles and “top secret” government documents on the
Vietnam War that came to be called the Pentagon
Papers. Bradlee also authorized Post staff reporters
Bernstein and Woodward to work the Watergate story.
Seymour Hersh
1937-
Dedicated investigative reporter. Working on his own in
the late 1960s, Hersh tracked and broke the story of the
massacre of Vietnamese civilians at My Lai by
American troops during the Vietnam War. The story was
picked up by 36 newspapers as well as news networks
and news magazines and earned Hersh the Pulitzer Prize.
Hersh continued to pursue story tips as a member of the
New York Times staff, breaking news of U.S. B-52
bombing in Cambodia, illegal CIA spying on U.S.
citizens, and CIA secret attempts to overthrow the leader
of Chile.
Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward
1944-              1943-
Investigative reporters who changed the way we think
about politics. Washington Post journalists Bernstein
and Woodward covered the Watergate scandal as a team.
From the day of the burglary, the two developed leads
and used a variety of sources to put together the story of
President Nixon’s and others’ involvement in the break-
in and its cover-up. Bernstein and Woodward’s work
won a Pulitzer Prize for the Washington Post for
outstanding public service. They later published two
books on Watergate: All the President’s Men and The
Final Days.
Anna Quindlen
1951-
Voice of the baby boomers. Even as a “little kid,”
Quindlen wanted to be a writer. After working for her
high school paper and the New York Post, she landed a
job at the New York Times. Quindlen’s “Hers,” “Life in
the 30s,” and “Public & Private” columns in the New
York Times  were extremely popular. They captured her
generation’s concerns about various social, political, and
personal issues and won her the Pulitzer Prize for
commentary in 1992
